and here this whole time ive been seeing this really cool professional picture all prettied up and everything, its has been of a non moving piece of metal.LOL..just kidding man..i have seen you post a ton since ive been on this site and i never knew that your truck in the picture had been on the disabled list..you should be able to get social security when that happens..if you need any advice on the install just ask me..mad dad is MR. BF GOODWRENCH himself, and can fix or rig just about anything up to run good. we had an old 80s camaro that everyone told him he couldnt fit this old beat up straight six engine in...in less that an hour he had that engine in somehow and i drove that car for about 4 years till we painted it Joy orange from some paint we got from our deep mines shuttle car refurbish shop we worked at, well i guess and the paint gun we used to pain the shuttle cars too and painted it orange as hell..man that car was U.G.L.Y. but looked cool had a black bra and shit..LOL..A N Y W A Y S. i was rambling like a mother fer. anyways if you need any advice just make it pretty detailed and exactly what you want and ill relay the question on to him and reply as quick as i can...not saying you need any help at all but just offering a helping hand...but again just kidding about the hunk of metal thing............................................. .......................................or was i.

ohh and another thing, i read this whole thread thinking that you were doing something soo incredibly utterly original to a 2010 camaro and found that you never once mentioned one..LOL...GOT ME!!! but now im interested in your truck..i just bought a 2004 Chevy 2500 HD for only 6k...it has 140000 miles but its a two owner and i bought it for winter cause once the snow and ice hits the salt hits and my car hits the garage..i can handle snow and ice but the salt is a big no no..and i dont see strapping a deer to the top of the hood once deer season rolls around..but that would make for some great camaro5 pics huh. that and i dont want to put a trailor hitch on my car to pull my 4 wheelers everywhere too...damn i guess im more of a hick that i like to admit..but shit im from West Virginia..cant help it.

I have a 2007 Impala SS with the 5.3, and it is damn impressive, 305 Horsepower, I was shocked how fast the car is, it's great beating the mustang gt's in a 4 door car, your gonna love that 5.3.

305, really?! the LS6 heads only got you an extra 10hp over the truck engine? it's still pretty fun to have the LS4 in a family car!

You are going to be really happy with the tried and true 5.3, I don't know how you've stood being without your truck since May 27th. You have a really good MOM if she's been letting you drive her car all that time. Best of luck to get rolling soon.
